Ceramic composition and electronic component using the ceramic composition

A ceramic composition comprising:

• relative to 100 parts by mass of diopside crystal powder,
• 0.3 to 1.5 parts by mass of a Li component in terms of an oxide thereof;
• and
• 0.1 to 1 part by mass of a B component in terms of an oxide thereof,
• wherein the ceramic composition further comprises at least one component selected from a group consisting of a Zn component, a Co component, an Al component, a Zr component, a Bi component, a Ba component, a K component, and a Na component,
• wherein a content of the Li component in terms of an oxide thereof is larger than a content of the B component in terms of an oxide thereof,
• wherein a total content of the Li component and the B component is 2.25 parts by mass or less in terms of oxides thereof;
• and
• wherein a total content of the Li component, the B-component, and the at least one component is 0.5 to 6 parts by mass in terms of oxides thereof relative to 100 parts by mass of the diopside crystal powder.
